Yeah you're right, and I think David didn't like it at all and begged the boys for not releasing the song on the album, so they made another version with Freddie singing all the parts.

Actually on album version Freddie sings all the parts he sung on 'demo' version (I preffer to call it as an alternative version than proper demo one)... He didn't re-record David's parts, they're just absent from album version.
I really like this song, Freddie sounds really sexxxxxxxxxxxy!!!. In fact Hot Space, is really sexy, just listen at "dancer" "body language".... well, the same album spells it, "HOT"
I'm positive that Billy Squier took some of Bowie's stuff from Cool Cat, but it was too late to be added to the liner notes. At best I'd say it was incidental stuff, like a doubling of Freddie's voice. Yes or no?
